FMA is not the same as Arnis/Eskrima/Kali as there are a lot of other native Philippine martial arts separate from these weapon-based umbrella terms, such as Boltong from Northern Luzon, Dumog from Visayas, Sikaran (kicking), newer ones like Yawyan, there's Kuntao, Silat from the South, etc. That's like saying Karate, Judo, Aikido, Kenjutsu, etc are all just the same and that the Wikipedia entries for both articles be just merged into a single article called "Japanese Martial Arts". I am going to start the nomination process for the renaming of the article. -Object404 (talk) 06:35, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- it has been over 3 years since I asked the question, and there have been no major arguments against. As such, I'm going to start the move/rename process as per Wikipedia:Requested_moves. For reference, also see the page from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts of the Philippine Government - http://www.ncca.gov.ph/about-culture-and-arts/culture-profile/phil-fast-facts/culture-profile-arnis.php -Object404 (talk) 06:40, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
